Abstract
This article compiles a list of lemmas of the second class weak verbs of Old English by using the latest version of the lexical database Nerthus, which incorporates the texts of the Dictionary of Old English Corpus. Out of all the inflecional endings, the most distinctive have been selected for lemmatization: the infinitive, the inflected infinitive, the present participle, the past participle, the second person present indicative singular, the present indicative plural, the present subjunctive singular, the first and third person of preterite indicative singular, the second person of the preterite indicative singular, the preterite indicative plural and the preterite subjunctive plural. When it is necessary to regularize, normalization is restricted to correspondences based on dialectal and diachronic variation. The analysis turns out a total of 1,064 lemmas of weak verbs from the second class.

Summary
This article deals with Old English verbs from the second weak class. Its aim is to compile a list of verbal lemmas from this morphological class based on the information provided by the version of the lexical database of Old English Nerthus, as reviewed in the previous section. A database can be adapted to the specific needs of a particular research It can be sorted and searched in ways that online corpora cannot. This work can be seen as a contribution to the research programme in the morphology and semantics of Old English represented by Martín Arista (2008, 2010a, 2010b, 2011a, 2011b, 2011c, 2012a, 2012b, 2012c, 2013a, 2013b, 2014), Martín.
